Goalie and 1C


Recommended Posts

It’s clear as day if Bus is not playing there’s no good goalie on this team. Also the hurricanes go as far as the first center allows them, and Sebastian Aho, while a fantastic player is not a one center. The hurricanes will get bounced from the playoffs again, if either of these two positions are not addressed.

Placing the blame for this game solely on Kootchie? Try watching replays.

I posted this in the game thread but you’ve earned a repost here lol.

I don’t blame the goalie when we only score 1 goal, have poor puck control (18 turnovers to sharks 9), and defensive lapses on sharks goals.  After watching replays closely I see a defensive zone turnover and defense as the blame for the 1st sharks goal, and both goalie and defense to blame for the 2nd and 3rd sharks goals. So Kootchi was partially responsible for at most 2 goals. If Canes don’t score more than that we’ll lose a lot of games.

1st Sharks goal- Canes turn the puck over in their end, Celebrini shoots from center left and Graft skates in unmolested at right net front for the tip in. Puck control and defense fail. 

2nd sharks goal- Celebrini pass from behind the Canes net to a wide open Klingberg 10 ft in front of the net for the goal while 3 Canes couldn’t defend and Kootch partially screened by Ghost. Defense fail, goalie fail.

3rd sharks goal- Eklund shoots and puck bounces off Kootch to an all alone on right side Wennberg who slams it in for the goal. Goalie fail, defense fail.

I won’t argue that Aho needs to step up. I agree with that but he’s not the only one who didn’t score.

FYI Aho is ranked 22nd in points for Centers this season, that puts him ahead of 10 other 1C’s in the league. Can he be better? I hope so but he’s certainly no slouch and is a bonafide 1C.

How many 2Cs have more points than him?

    • if we counting rushinf also sanders also scored 1 rushing td.  so byoung had one more rushing td same passing tds sanders had the int and around 120 more total yards than young in his 3rd ever game.  young year 2 end of the year at that time but in 3 years he has arguably had only 1 better game than sanders had in his 3rd ever game even having this convo shows how bad most of youngs 3 years in the league have been.  no way browns trade sanders and he may still suck just crazy to think how littlr production panthers have had from young and everyone craps on sanders when he did this his 3rd ever game on a total crap team
    • I LOVE threads like this with different opinions and a topic we can actually discuss other than "The QB/HC/OC sux" so thank you! I do agree with your premise. The NFL is always changing, and defenses are having to find ways to adjust to these incredible offenses. I think talent on both sides of the ball is at an all time high, and the rules favor the offense more than ever. I think you're seeing multiple things.  1) QB has never been harder. The things QBs are now asked to do presnap are nothing like what they used to be. Offensive coordinators have gotten so good, and so creative. The best ones are the guys that can convey that to their QB and players better than the others. There's nobody in the NFL calling plays that doesn't understand offensive football, you just have guys that don't teach it well. Sean McVay really changed the way a lot of offenses run, and it's a copycat league, so most orgs have taken a lot of the nuance he brought to the game. Small things like intentionally sending the WR to the wrong side of the formation, and then running him back across presnap are now all over the league, nearly ever snap. It's motion without the motion.  2) Defenses have gotten so much more creative. It's insane to watch the things defenses do to disguise coverage now.  If you don't disguise your coverages consistently now, you're going to get ripped apart. Almost every snap is reminiscent of the old "Radar" defense to me now. It's fascinating to watch. I also think you're seeing a lot of blown coverage as a result of this stuff, but we've always had blown coverage. 3) The WR and Corner talent is ridiculous. I don't think we've ever seen guys this big, this fast, or this strong playing WR or Corner ever. and some of them are all three! There are corners that you shouldn't throw the ball to their guy, period. There are WR that can win every matchup. There have always been some dominant guys, but I do think what we are seeing is special.  Finally, the best QBs are always going to be able to figure it out. I think that's how you see the statistical outliers that we see sometimes in this data. Furthermore, I think it explains the mid career resurgence we see in so many guys this day and time. It takes a while to figure this stuff out. They do not run stuff this complicated on offense for sure in college, and most defenses don't do anything like we are seeing either. 
    • He isn't the last QB in YPG. There are a few actually below him.
